“I learned some invaluable lessons in Nashville that apply to both farming and show business: Do not corner something you know is meaner than you; keep skunks of all kinds at a distance; if you forgive your enemies, it messes up their heads.”

I like marijuana because it keeps me from killing people. And I think there are a lot of people out there who are just like me. The reason it’s not legal is because most people get up in the morning and get high, then forget to go out and vote for it.

When I’m driving the highway by myself is when I write best.

I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.

What has changed is that nothing has changed. That’s what has made me more unhappy than everything else.

Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.

Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them.

My wife actually got worried about my drinking so much regular milk, you know, so she got me into rice milk and now soy milk, which I greatly enjoy. A soy mocha’s a fine thing.

The life I love is making music with my friends.

I’m from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there’s no one in control.

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.

That’s not very attractive behavior, Bella. he said. Forgiveness is divine. Mind your own buisness.

Love has always been the most important business in my life; I should say the only one.

I’m not all that enthralled by show business, and I’m not that much of a highbrow.

Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy.

What other people think of me is none of my business.

The business is my life, the ring my salvation, the locker room and roads my nourishment.

The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.

You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with the business of the State.
